Two days before the ultimatum issued by US President Donald Trumpthe Islamist group Hamas responded this Friday with a statement to the proposal of “Peace Plan” of Trump and Netanyahu, a Colonization plan under imperialist tutelage that would seal the genocide in the Gaza Strip and that would bury all aspiration of Palestinian self -determination.
The answer of Hamasthat in rhetoric seems to accept the terms of the agreement, in reality He puts enough repairs to put Netanyahu in trouble. He points out that he is willing to free the living and dead hostages that are still in their possession, without doubt the most sensitive point, but in several other key themes he does not accept or They are ambiguous.
This is the case of total disarmament, of the administration of the Gaza Strip after the departure of Hamas, the group’s participation in the negotiations, or the withdrawal of the Israeli forces of the Strip. “The movement affirms its provision to initiate negotiations immediately, through the mediators, to discuss details“They point out.
Recall that Trump’s twenty points plan, presented with drums and dishes from Washington, meant Grant Israel the complete victory that has not been able to get on the grounddespite massacrating more than 60,000 people – mostly children, women and the elderly -, almost completely destroy the infrastructure and the public health system and deliberately cause a general famine to the civilian population, forced displacements and other other displacements War crimes.
Trump promises a gaza “free of terrorism”, a technocratic government and international aid, based on the Total surrender of Hamas and the delivery of Israeli hostages. Among the points, the requirement of the Immediate disarmament and the dismantling of any resistance infrastructure and the deployment of an international stabilization force under tutelage, Trump himself and “illustrious” figures such as former British prime minister Tony Blair.
Recall also that Trump had given “three or four days” of time to Hamas to respond and that this Friday warned that if the organization did not accept its proposal, “Hell would be unleashed” on Gaza. Trump’s play had managed to relax the growing international isolation suffered by the genocidal Netanyahu, since many governments that had been criticizing the genocide took the imperialist plan as “path to peace.”
In this sense, Hamas’ response is ambiguous enough to gain time, put the ball in rival field and demonstrate its willingness to negotiate, but without committing suicide. He appreciates international efforts, agrees Arabic consensus.
“After an exhaustive study, the movement made its decision appreciate efforts Arabs, Islamic and international, as well as Trump’s efforts, which ask for the end of the war in the Gaza Strip, the exchange of prisoners, the immediate entry of help, the rejection of the occupation of the strip and the rejection of the displacement of our Palestinian people of it, “the statement begins.
“So that the end of the war and the total withdrawal of the strip is achieved, the movement announces its approval of the release of all the prisoners, both those who live and those who remain in the strip, according to the exchange formula proposed by Trump, With the necessary field conditions for its implementation. In this context, the movement affirms its willingness to initiate negotiations Immediately, through the mediators, to discuss the details. “
“The movement also reaffirms its approval to deliver the administration of the Gaza Strip to a Independent Palestinian Agency (Tecnocratas) Based on the Palestinian National Consensus and supported by Arab and Islamic support (…) “As for other issues included in the proposal of President Trump related to the future of the Gaza Strip and the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, this is linked to a national collective position and in accordance with the relevant international laws and resolutions, which will be discussed within a national framework within a national framework within a national framework integral, in which Hamas will be included and will contribute with full responsibility. “
That is, it does not explicitly mention the definitive disarmament or the entry of international forces, and it is insisted that the future of the Gaza Strip and the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people must be discussed in a broader Palestinian national framework, with the participation of all forces. This point too puts Arab governments in difficultieslike Egypt or Jordan, who had been pressing Hamas to accept the plan, in an open betrayal of the Palestinian cause. On the demand for disarmament, they only accept to deliver what they call “offensive weapons”, reserving the right to conserve “defensive systems”, an ambiguity that In fact it rejects total surrender the unconditional.
Netanyahu, between Trump’s pressure and the internal crisis
This Hamas response leaves Netanyahu in a Complicated political situation. Trump shared the group’s statement in his social network Truth and said: Now, it only remains “that Israel stop bombing Gaza”, to advance the release of hostages, while the Israeli negotiating team itself and the relatives of the captives claimed the start of rapid and efficient negotiations. Shortly after republicating Hamas’ response, Trump uploaded a video recorded in the White House where he points out: “Based on the statement that Hamas has just issued, I think they are ready for lasting peace“.
At the close of this note, it seems that The Zionist government would accept to start with the first part of the plan that implies the liberation of hostageswhat would leave open if it will then seek a way to break the plan unilaterally as it did in March with the previous peace plan. Government sources had pointed out on Friday night that Netanyahu was “surprised” by the sayings of his American pair and that He considered Hamas’ response as a rejection of the peace plan.
The pressure on Netanyahu does not only come from outside. Yair Lapidleader of the opposition, offered political support to advance the agreement, while the ultra -right of its own cabinet threatens to break if Gaza control is assigned or negotiated with Hamas. The Hostage Families Forum, on the other hand, stated that Trump’s request was essential to avoid irreversible damage to the captives.
Netanyahu must choose between accepting an agreement that implies in the facts not to be able to go to the end with its maximum objectives such as ethnic cleaning and the total elimination of Hamas, or continue the genocide deepening international isolation and internal contradictions with the opposition and with sectors of the population that want to end the war.
On the other hand, the ultra -right, which has several positions in the cabinet and aspires to govern Gaza permanently and under the consummation of the Ethnic cleaninghe already made it clear that he will not accept any mediation with Hamas or the presence of international mediators, which threatens to break the coalition if Netanyahu accepts.
Redouble mobilization everywhere, you have to do as in Italy
It is clear that the Trump plan endorsed by the Arab governments is not a peace agreement, but a neocolonial imposition designed to consolidate the occupation, legitimize genocide and ethnic cleaning, and relegate the Palestinian people to international supervision and without plenary rights. However, this partial acceptance of the plan by Hamas, in the context of the extreme resistance of the Palestinian people, of the growing international mobilization – with impressive examples such as the Italian general strike this Friday where the working class and youth stopped the country and overflowed the streets throughout the peninsula -, international isolation and internal contradictions of the Zionist state itself Netanyahu that is thrown between Trump’s pressure and the demands of the extreme right that is part of the government coalition.
The only real departure is the mobilization of the working class and youth worldwide, internationalist solidarity and the fight against complicit governments that support the genocide, following the example of the workers and Italian youth and from other countries such as the Spanish State, or the brave global Sumud Flotilla that still has more than 400 activists kidnapped by Israel, which imposes the withdrawal of Israeli forces and the unconditional income of humanitarian aid as the first step to continue the fight for a free and self -determinated Palestine, from the river to the sea.
